[Qgis-psc] Request for repurposing of Grant to work on MacOS

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi all, 
That's also a +1 for me !
I also share Tim's questions but I don't doubt you'll get into details in a QEP as usual. 
Let's explore what vcpkg allows us to do. We'll have a clearer view of possible scenarios. 
Cheers!

>> Dear PSC,

>> I am reaching out to request a repurposing of the grant awarded last year

>> PostGIS.

>> Since the QEP was written, significant improvements in this area have
>> already been implemented through other means, such as the parallelization
>> of loading providers. While we still see potential for further
>> optimizations, particularly in the deduplication of initial requests sent
>> to a PostgreSQL database, addressing these would require a thorough
>> reevaluation and an adjustment to the original scope of the grant.

>> Meanwhile, vcpkg driven QGIS packages have gained a lot of momentum on
>> several platforms as well as being used by downstream projects like QField,
>> MerginMaps and Kadas Albireo. The demand for mac based packages is seeing a
>> significant increase in interest as well and, as stated in our recent
>> report, over the last few months considerable initial volunteer work has
>> been done by OPENGIS.ch on mac packaging and we'd like to push this through
>> the finish line and create reproducible CI-driven DMG packages.
>>
>> After many positive initial discussions with several people from PSC and
>> the community, I'd like to officially ask if such a repurposing of the
>> grant would be embraced by the PSC.
>>
>> Kind regards and an excellent year-ending Matthias
